Dont think i did predict to anyone ,which pup out of the last litter would be the quickest.In my own mind,it was Stern,who went to Linda and Keith Palmer.One thing about this that i do remember though,was saying at a later stage, that i had a sneaky feeling i was wrong,as Trouble,who was then called Charmed,had shown me summit in the field,that opened my eye's.Now ,to date,Stern is the only one to have a racing championship,to his name,which leave's me partly right.On the other hand,Trouble at 8n1/2 month's of age,and at her first ever racing event,ran 3 run's,winning her heat,semi,and only got beat by 4n1/2 length's,in the final by Tori,who was crowned 4 nation's and ireland's fastest lurcher.Going by the result's and distances of that day,she was going to be a force to be reconed with.Colt beat Ellie Star by over 4 length's,Tori beat Colt by Two,and beat Trouble by 4n1/2,over the same distance,but a different venue.If Trouble has made a full recovery,which is very doubtful,we will see next year just how quick she is.As for picking one from this litter of 10.I would'nt even try. Have my eye on 2 of the silvery blue brindle though.Before you ask why i sold what i thought would be the quickest in the litter.Simple.If he turned out a racing champion,over in england,then i was well and truly back on the map,at my 1st attempt.Also,knowing that he could not have been going to a better home than where he went was a big bonus,as i hold the Palmer's in very high regard,as far as caring ,training ,and racing goes.Hope this has answerd all. Will be taking individual pix tonight. ...Billy...nettle said:
yes the nice soft carpet is fine but you could put something at her back so shes not up against the hard wood shes a very beautiful girl and shes done so well to have all those little darlin'sbillyboy45 said:Ok.An update on Tara,and pup's.Pup's now 3 day's old,and doing fine.As for Tara's bed,i think it is big enough,at the moment,and will grow with the flow.As you can see,there is plenty of room for her to stretch out.It's entirely up to her ,which way she lay's.As for a pillow,how long would it last.Think this nice soft carpet is sufficiant for now.

If i put summit at her back,it defeat's the purpose of the safety barrier,between her and the pup's.If you look at what i mean,then you will see that 4/5 inches up,is a rail,which create's a safety zone,where the pup's can get into,if mum lay's back against one,and trap's it between herself and side of shed.This is what happen's to a lot of pup's that get sqaushed and suffocated.Until the pup's are big enough,to be out of danger of this,then there will be no extra bedding.There is a 250 wt infrared lamp above them for extra heat.This will burn 24/7,for the next 3 week's.I like mum to be able to see her pup's at all time's.What if i put in an old pillow or summit and a pup went under it and got suffocated.Would'nt i feel a right jerk then.whippetgood said:yes the nice soft carpet is fine but you could put something at her back so shes not up against the hard wood shes a very beautiful girl and shes done so well to have all those little darlin'sbillyboy45 said:Ok.An update on Tara,and pup's.Pup's now 3 day's old,and doing fine.As for Tara's bed,i think it is big enough,at the moment,and will grow with the flow.As you can see,there is plenty of room for her to stretch out.It's entirely up to her ,which way she lay's.As for a pillow,how long would it last.Think this nice soft carpet is sufficiant for now.

Wow,havent you been buisy.Well with Stern showing great promise,then we will have to wait and see.As with this litter,look what happened to Trouble,just a day or 2 after it was posted about the way she ran at her 1st ever race,which was also her 1st time to chase a lure.Now please dont ask me again,as i dont want to jinx any of the pup's this time.As i have said, i have an eye on a couple of the brindle's.OPP'S,and there's 8 of them.The only way of knowing which of these pup's will turn out the quickest,is to keep all of them till racing age,and as i no longer have the paddock's to do this,then it would be imposible to answer you're ?,as all 10 pup's would have to be raced together.Now you would probibly be better having a go at the lottery,than taking a bet on that one. Now im off out to feed them for the last time tonight,and as 7 am isnt that far away,then i'll be off. ...Billy...nettle said:
